That should be what you're aiming for. PvE is much easier than you would believe if you haven't tried it yet. In my guild we're doing 4 hours a week of PvE(progress) and 1-2 hours on sunday to clean up the rest (non heroic), and we're progressing heroics rather fast like 1 new boss per week.

The season is long and the pve content keeps getting nerfed so if you put a small amount of time into it you'll get all the badass gear.

not sure how to incorporate the word hack into it, but ill be creative
they are not amused. 6 days 6 hours

"I am really not happy with this problem that I am having! I am so -stuck- right now, I have the same feeling as the day my account got -hacked-! I really hope you can fix this issue; the last thing I want is to cancel my subscription."

Add something like that after all of your petitions

edit: if you really want a fast response, also be sure to add "GRRR!!! I am so frustrated!!! I almost want to commit suicide hacked stuck help cancel subscription bugged abuse harassment racism"

I had hope for Tosan till i farmed his 3s on E-storm on my 3rd alt. Niku plzzz, all you noops think hes good because he made acouple good videos off cherry picked games. Braindeadly is a savage Hunter. R.I.P Ballplayer. Lets try to keep it real here.

Hello everyone! I was curious as I am sure many of you have been about how much resilience I would gain by upgrading to full Season 11 gear in Patch 4.3. Rather than continue to wonder I decided to do the math and figure it out. Now I am here to share my findings with all of you in what has become the second in a series of guides about resilience. Please enjoy it and if you have any comments, questions, feedback, or error corrections please post them, I will do my best to respond to everything. You can view the first guide of the series titled "How Resilience Scales in 4.2.2" here: http://www.arenajunk...nce-scales-422/

Let me start with a disclaimer: All information on season 11 gear and epic gems is based on data from the current PTR version and is subject to change. Now that we have that out of the way lets dive right in. In patch 4.3 you will have two ways to increase your resilience, by upgrading to the new season 11 gear, and by upgrading your rare gems to the new epic gems. Upgrading from any given season 10 gear set to the equivalent season 11 gear set will net you about 722 additional resilience. It doesn't matter if you are going from the 371 honor set to the 390 honor set, or if you are going from the 384 conquest set to the 403 conquest set, you will gain about 722 resilience either way. The amount of resilience you will gain from upgrading your gems depends on how many resilience gems you currently have. In 4.3 the +40 resil rare gem will have a +50 resil epic upgrade, and the +20 resil hybrids will have +25 resil epic upgrades. Based on current info the epic gems will only be available from raiding, so if you are strictly a PVP player don't count on getting your hands on them quickly unless you have a TON of gold to throw around.

Now before we jump into the graphs let me give you a brief rundown of what is going on in them. Different weapon configurations give slightly different amounts of resilience, however the differences are relatively insignificant when looking at total resilience. To make this first graph simpler and easier to read I have averaged all the different weapon configurations together. If you are interested in more precise data for your specific weapon configuration please skip ahead to sections 3 & 4.

In this first graph you will see three different lines, a Baseline, a Normal line, and a Max line. The Baseline represents the total resilience from JUST gear and the 2-piece set bonus. The Normal line represents the Baseline plus the chest, shoulder, and helm resil enchants as well as +70 resil from socket bonuses (some classes get 60 some get 80 I just picked a midpoint). The Max line represents what is approximately the maximum achievable resilience with a given gear set, it is the Normal line plus Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, a relic slot, and ALL resilience gems (S10 sets assume rare gems, S11 assume epic). The second graph should be fairly straightforward, it is just a look at the maximum possible resilience from rare and epic gems based on professions and ranged item vs relic (relics have a socket, ranged items don't).

Section 2 - General Graphs

Section 3 - Specific Configuration Information

As I stated earlier, different weapon configurations have slightly different resilience values, generally speaking using a two-hander gives you the most, and dual-wielding one-handers gives you the least. Having a ranged item vs a relic also changes things because ranged items use weapon ilvl's while relics use armor ilvl's.

In the next graph you will find the data for the increases in resilience over the different gear sets based on weapon configuration. Please note this data only includes the gear and the +400 resil 2pc bonus, NOTHING ELSE!

Section 4 - Specific Configuration Graph

Section 5 - Closing Thoughts and Remarks

I want to stress again that all of this is based on data from the current version of the PTR, I don't believe it will change between now and release but you never know. Season 11 looks to be rewarding players with a pretty substantial gain in resilience, even players that don't gem for it will be rocking around 5k resil once they have full S11 conquest gear which is more than is even possible to get at the moment. Resil maxed players will have around 5700 resil which will put them at around 50% damage reduction (200% effective health!!). I truly pity the fresh 85's that are trying to kill players with that much resil. However it remains to be seen if player damage will scale faster or slower than effective health with this new gear. It is quite possible that even with 5k resil it will feel like we are dying faster against equally geared opponents, only time will tell.

If you are like me and you like to get as close to 600 hit rating as possible, then this thread will hopefully save you hours of pouring over chardev.

I created a spread sheet simulation that took the base hit from S10 Ruthless gear and added to it all available +hit from sources like reforging, the 3 blue slots, and the neck piece. I disregarded any enchants, and unless specified, assumes +expertise necklace.

I've bolded the combinations that fill the 3 blue gem slots in our gear and allow us to wear the expertise necklace.

If my values are incorrect, please let me know and I'll correct them in my spreadsheet and search for new combinations. I would gladly share my spreadsheet, if anyone would care to take the time to tell me how to attach it to this thread.

P.S. I hope this helps anyone.

*edit* added a couple more combinations.

*edit2* I've adjusted the base hit on Ruthless gear to 354 from 355. I removed the old 600 combinations since they are now 599. I've taken in account for combinations that reforge out of hit on hands and ring, but since their reforge values are the same for belts and cloaks (respectively), a lot of them offset each other, thus making them meaningless. I've added more total combinations.

*edit3* I've adjusted for the corrected hit values in legs and removed the combinations that used the old leg reforging values. I've added some more combinations.
